BASEBALL TEAM IS IN FINE

SON SATURDAY.
The ball team journeyed to Cam
den last Saturday to help Wateree
Mills celebrate in a May Day festi
val. The Winnsboro Mills team's
part, according to the program of
the Wateree Mills, was to come to
Camden and take a good beating at
the hands of the Wateree team. With
out say whether or not they would
do in Camden as the program read,
our boys went down to Camden and
promptly at three o'clock, as Mr.
Baker, Wateree's -star slabman, be

platter, they began to smash said
apple all over the lot and also over
the heads and out of reach of Cam

round of nine innings were over

humbled bunch of ball tossers. Said
humbling was done by one Mr. Bar

a tight place he opened up full steam
ahead and made batters whiff the
air until the "umps" would yell "bat

W'e have given Enloe first credit
for he bore the brunt of the fight,
yet he was ably assisted by eight
others who were in there fighting all
the team. The team was playing to

work -ire the out field by the r. m
den cutfit Winnsboro would have
amassed more runs than they did.
Go to it, boys, and play the game
together -in that same fighting spirit
and before the summer of 1921 rolls
by we shall have won some more ball
games. Lose at times, if we must,
but let us lose playing the game. Not
only play the game in baseball, but
in all phases of iife. -
"For when one Grat Scorer comes
To write against your name,
He writes not that you won or lost,
But how you played the game!"
Against a team made up almost
wholly of experienced, muchly touted
ball players, 'an 8 to 3 score shows
that the Winnsboro Mill team played
the game.
Several truck loads, and several
car loads of rooters, boys, girls, men
and women went over to Camden to
-ot for their team. Their lusty yel
ling did much to help bring home
the bacon. All enjoyed the May fes

Wateree Mills community.
On last Friday evening at the hall

ALUES MUST PAY
UNITED STATES
SHORT PARAGRAPHS GATHER
ED FROM ALL PARTS OF THIS
COUNTRY.
- Washington. - The United States
government considers the Allies' debt
of ten billion dollars a just obligatioN
of the Allies and deems unacceptable
the suggestion made Jy Germany that
she take it over as part payment o
reparations to France, Great Britain,
Italy and Belgium.
This attitude on the part of the
American government may be form
ally expressed if the United States
ever transmits the recent German
reparktion proposal to the Allies as a
basis for discussion, but inasmuch as
such a step is for the momtat Vn
likely, the chances are that America
will avoid formal comment on the
German proposition as It affects our
foreign loans.
While the Washington government
Is vitally interested in the outcome of
the reparation negotiations, because
of the far-reaching effect that a settle
ment would have on-the world's eco
nomic situation, the official viewpoint
here is that the Allies will be well able,
ultimately to pay their debts to the
United States irrespective of the rep
aration money forthcoming from Ger
many to the Allies.
